Pakistan Gears Up for T20I Series Against West Indies

LAUDERHILL: The Pakistan cricket team has officially begun its preparations for the highly anticipated T20I series against the West Indies, holding a rigorous training session at Central Broward Park & Broward County Stadium.

Currently in the United States of America (USA) for the three-match T20I series, the Green Shirts engaged in an intensive three-hour practice, overseen by the team’s coaching staff.

The training encompassed fielding exercises, net practice, and specialized drills designed to hone the skills of both bowlers and batters.

The day’s activities started with warm-up routines and various physical exercises, followed by focused net sessions aimed at refining techniques and enhancing overall preparedness for the matches.

Pakistan is set to clash with the West Indies in the first T20I on July 31 at the same Lauderhill venue, with Salman Ali Agha captaining the squad for this T20I series.
